Thank you for introducing me to your mindset and showing me tons of optimal/alternate lines and ways of thinking about opponent ranges. Best of luck in the future, you seem like an awesome guy.

Blue-fired?

Obv the best thing about the site. Where he goes, the ppl will eventually follow.

Hopefully this is because open poker coming back to the U.S. and Phil has signed an elusive sponsorship in anticipation. Call it hopeful, likely misguided, speculation.

Damn, I got lucky, just a week ago I was considering between leggo poker and BFP, and decided to go with leggo.

Really got lucky.

Phil, most people were under the impression that you owned BlueFire. Although I'm guessing that you never came out and said that yourself, I never saw you say the opposite. What exactly was the situation regarding this?

I was such a complete fish until I read an article Phil wrote for Bluff in '07. Galfond is the primary reason I am now a winning player and I signed up for Bluefire solely to get the content Phil made because in my mind he is the best teacher out there. Very disappointed to hear this news.

Even though that thread beat this one by a couple of hours, I'm sure it will get merged into this one.

I'm very confused right now. The password to my BlueFirePoker account has been changed. Any posts from now on are not from me.

I'll have to find somewhere else to post my final 4 videos. I'm extremely embarrassed about all of this. I'm sorry guys.

- from twitter 5 minutes ago, very odd

yea, this definitely doesnt seem like it was a mutual breakup. why cant he post his last 4 videos there? seems like bfp is trying to distance themselves from him, and that makes no sense at all. really interested in hearing the behind the scenes story if it ever comes out

Is he saying on Twitter that Bluefire deleted his blog and has now locked him out of the site? What's going on?

Money problems for BFP?

That's too bad. Best of luck in the future.
